Your trap speed isnt showing the HP you should be making. You "should" be around 500rwhp if not a decent amount more with good tuning, which should net you an almost 110mph trap speed in an rcsb but youre about 10mpg down on that. Even if you roll into it out of the hole you will still trap pretty good(100mph+).

 

I don't understand how you can calculate trap speed if you are having traction issues or is traction just relative to trap times. as stated before i was not going ***** to the wall so my best trap was 98.10

 

My roll outs on MT DR's have the same trap speed as a hard launch on Slicks. All within 1.5 mph area

 

yeah but I was running 20" street tires

 

Your time from the 1/8 mile on is almost the same as my truck ran. About the same mph too. We're saying that you have great parts, they just aren't working for you. Excuses don't fix the numbers.

 

Not making excuses. i think when you reach a certain power level you will not accomplish much on street tires. in my origonal post i asked what i could expect with good traction from the addition of slicks, to get a good launch.

 

slicks r some good dr will net you faster time for sure the reaction time really sucks casue you are spinning so bad also but it will be hard to hook a blown truck with out tires.
once you get some tires go back so you have a good comparison.you have a good setup

 

i would say with the tune on and good tires and a few other things you could c high 12.s

 

Thanks red devil...i know tires play a huge role.......just cant afford them right now and I was already there so i made a few passes for fun...you can only feather the pedal so much, you know?

 

yes sir been there

it takes time just save pennies you ll get them and it will be a new truck again
